2006 Au Bon Climat, Chardonnay "375ML" 1/2 Bottles
$ 11.99Burgundian in sensibility but with California style is one way of describing Jim Clendenen's Chardonnays- Structure and restraint melded with bountiful opulence is another. In the glass, buttery brioche marries with tropical fruits in an irresistible elixir that will leave the bottle drained before you know it. Try it with turbot for a match of delicacy and richness. Deliciously complex and stylish, rich, earthy and oily, with layers of fig, toasty oak, nectarine, citrus. A long finish keeps pumping out the flavors. Within the heart of Santa Barbara County is the Au Bon Climat winery, situated on the world-famous Bien Nacido Vineyard. Renowned winemaker and owner, Jim Clendenen, induces his wines with a creative and energetic edge. It began in 1982 as a partnership between Adam Tolmach and Clenenden and quickly obtained a reputation for their Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. The grapes for these wines come from the greatest vineyards within the Santa Barbara region from such locations as Santa Ynez and Santa Maria Valleys. Some are also sourced from the Edna Valleys and Arroyo Grande region. In 1989 and 1990, Robert Parker acknowledged Au Bon Climat as one of the best wineries of the world. Also, Clendenen has been named Winemaker of the Year in 1992 by the Los Angeles Times, as well as received recognition in 2001 by Food and Wine Magazine. This reputable winery lives up to its translated meaning, âa well-exposed vineyard,â producing internationally-recognized wines.
